  1. That's awesome. I had 7.12" that September and have down that it was the warmest September ever for Pennsylvania at-large. So, I found two instances where I believe I may have received more precipitation than anywhere else in the state -- April 6, 2017 when I got 2,55" and August 12, 2018 with 4.7". I'm really hoping to cash in on something from this weak frontal passage later this afternoon, seems like there should be a decent shot, some line segments may try and form.
  2. Yeah you were the jackpot, whereas my official morning reading is .07" oof. There's been a couple of occasions since I've been keeping data where I believed I had the highest total in the state, or at the every least higher than anything reported through Cocorahs, NWS spotters, ASOS, etc. Always kind of exciting when that happens, at least I think so. I was thinking that may have been you yesterday but radar estimates have a swath up in Pike County receiving a bit more and sure enough there is a fella on Cocorahs outside of Milford who reported 3.23". On the bright side, I did dip into the 60s last night, bottoming out at 69, so there's that ha.
  3. What in fresh hell is this!? Maytown gonna get pummeled with more while I get fringed yet again. @Itstrainingtime what are trying to pull?? Taking it on the chin tonight. @Bubbler86 forget that beer, pap is gonna need a Manhattan tonight ha.
  4. It's uncanny how badly I got fringed here. Like absolutely pathetically unreal. Mega storms all around me for hours, within a couple miles, in all directions, and yet I never got a direct hit of anything heavy. I have like .05" in the gauge. Can't believe the difference between @Itstrainingtime and me, sickening. Although the wife and I were out in the Maytown area during some of it and yeah it was biblical over that way for a bit. Congrats to those who made out. I really needed it ugh.
  5. Just wait for the gamma, kappa, and sigma strains......maybe zeta, who knows!? Oh my!!! Yawn.
  6. Yeah and the HRRR has been hinting at some areas of moderate to heavy rain this evening but unfortunately one of the GFS's greatest known biases is overdoing the extent of light precipitation. Failed Elsa has, into exile she must go *my best Yoda voice*
  7. Oh don't I know it. On the other side of those intense outer swirling bands are often strong zones of subsidence. Such is the game of chance we call weather.
  8. I am not amused. Our best shot over here may be with the weak frontal passage tomorrow afternoon. Still holding out hope for some action this evening, as some of the other models want to bring something through. But the best of Elsa's remnants almost certainly seem to be staying east.
  9. So true. Take Lancaster County for instance, my little area in the northwest part of the county is well under average the past couple of months while the rest of the county is fine. I've only gotten an inch in the past three and a half weeks.
  10. Topped out at 98 here today. Luckily we were able to take a late afternoon dip in my parent’s pool. Looks like no rain out this way tonight, really hoping to get in on the western edge of that Elsa action late tomorrow.
  11. Yeah I believe it, sad what's become of so many of these small towns. I will say Penns Tavern is a cool place, stopped there a time or two.
  12. Eh loosely but not as much as other areas. However, I do consider myself a bit of a PA geography buff. The guys at work used to razz me because I could fill in all 67 counties on a blank map. I will say that most of my family is from the Sunbury area but I've rarely traveled on your side of the river, although my Grandma's favorite spot for years was the Herndon House haha. Is that still a thing?
  13. I'm going to venture a guess that you're closer to Pillow than Dalmatia? I could study terrain maps for a lifetime and be content ha. Feel free to shut me up if you think I'm giving away too much about your personal location haha.
  14. Indeed. I put a hurting on our friend's whiskey cache, although not as viciously as I would have in the past. Having a baby will do that ha.
  15. Damn right I do! Although I've only been in Warren once and that was while visiting the Allegheny National Forest. Bet you guys had an amazing weekend up there.
  16. Hmmmmm actually I'm drawing a blank. Where is that gift shop exactly? I do love myself a good dinner at that Log Cabin Inn though yum yum.
  17. I'm back in action. We were out in the sticks of western PA for a few days so left the phone by the bedside. Stopped at Ohiopyle on Friday and then stayed outside of Smithton for a couple days with some friends. Actually had better weather out there than you guys had here back east. Only had .1" in the gauge from the Fri - Sun period while we were gone, a bit disappointing. Looks hot for a while, but it is July so I guess we can live with that.
  18. My buddy’s cabin that I’ve been going to for decades is just west of you, a few miles south of Gaines on top of a hill. It really is like leaving the modern world behind when you go up there, love it.
